On Halloween night, the Merchant’s House Museum will hold its annual ghost-story reading, led by Anthony Bellov and Dayle Vander Sande, who will delve into scary nineteenth-century texts. Bellov has compiled the booklet “Some Say They Never Left: Tales of the Strange and Inexplicable at the Merchant’s House Museum,” so you never know who else will show up at the event, taking place in one of the parlor rooms, which will be rearranged for a funeral. (VIP tickets include a signed copy of the booklet.) The museum will also be holding Candlelight Ghost Tours October 28-30 ($13).
